Hello and welcome…

Jess Douglas, Marketing & HR Director, Confex Ltd

… to the latest issue of Eat, the digital magazine created to help support you in managing a successful business. In this packed edition, we have pages bursting with inspiration, tips, advice and recipes. With Mother’s Day and Easter both on the horizon, we have plenty of ideas on how you can still make a tasty profit if your doors have to remain closed. From afternoon tea in a box to a ‘roast to go’, there’s something for all outlets to put into action.

A burning issue for so many in food and drink businesses is waste and how they can be more sustainable. Read our guide on pages 8-9 to find out how your venue can increase its green credentials and reduce waste.

We’re always looking for ways to support our members and their customers and one of the first initiatives for 2021 is our brand-new Food to Go Club. Find out more on page 13 and see how you can get involved.

Have a great spring, and I hope you enjoy this issue.
